The Grand, Venice, Italy

With such a beautiful view, it's hard to totally mess up this shot. It may not be entirely unique, but is a must anyways. In this image, I have attempted to give an 'old world' look to it by using a monochrome warm tone finish. However, the power boats contradict this...but what can be done of it as they are more prevalent than the human powered ones:) One interesting thing shooting in Italy with such old buildings - many of them do not have straight walls. So when attempting to get straight architectural lines keep this in mind...sometimes nothing lines up as it should.
